No matter what your age is, holiday parties always call for a little glam. Here are easy ways to make this season's trendy-but-festive makeup picks work for you.

Shimmery Eyes

If you're in your 30s: These are the best years to wear deeper colors. To keep the look soft, use your fingertips to blend a cream shadow in pewter or bronze from lashline to crease; try Boots No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eye Shadow (six shades, $8 each; Target). Finish with mascara to define lashes. Our pick: CoverGirl Clump Crusher Extensions Mascara ($6, drugstores).

If you're in your 40s: For an understated take on this glam trend, incorporate color with liner. Choose a creamy pencil in a jewel tone like sapphire, emerald or deep plum. Try Avon SuperShock Gel Eye Liner Pencil (five shades, $8 each; avon.com). Line upper and lower lashes, then smudge with an eyeliner brush for a subtly sparkly effect. Add a neutral shadow and mascara.
